Anne Frank and Me

Summary: A Holocaust Thriller
Review: I couldn't put it down! I'e never read such a book. It may sound like nothing but a sermon, but it's nothing like that! I'm a sophomore in high school, and I know excitement when I see it. On a field trip to the Holocaust museum, some students open fire, and Nicole passes out as she's trampled by the crowd, waking up to find herself in Nazi occupied France in 1942. All the people from her real life (parents, sister, and schoolmates) are here, andthe boy she had a crush on is even madly in love with her. But Nicole soon learns the real meaning of life, and that boys and clothes hardly matter as much as family, safety, and even food enough to survive when she finds herself in a concentration camp... with Anne Frank.

Summary: Historical Fiction for Young Adults
Review: Cheri Bennet has delivered another wonderful book for Young Adults. There are not too many historical fiction books written that will capture the audiences attention and address such a difficult topic so well. With the opening of the Holocaust Museum in D.C students can have a vicarious experience back in time without ever leaving home and also be encouraged to see the museum themselves one day.
This book is gripping and exciting and is a non-stop read for all. Check all of her wonderful books out you won't want to miss them.

Summary: This is a very touching book!!
Review: I could not put this book down. But when I was in the 7th grade my english teacher had a whole month devoted to the Holocaust and World War II. When we first began the unit, my class and I did not understand why we were studing a war that was not during our time and about something we did not understand. But as the unit went on and we had to read a book about someone during that time, I began to understand that I could have been someone back then and what happened could of happened to me. I wish that this book could of been published back then so I could have read it. This book touched very close to home. I am not Jewish or knows anyone who was effected by the Holocaust, but I am a teenager and I know how hard life can be. So it must have been terrible being a teen during the Holocaust. We Nicole and Liz-Bette were in the gas chamber and were talking to each other I had to read it more than once, because I was crying so bad my vision was blurred. I have read many books on the subject of the Holocaust and World War II, but by far this is one of the best.

Summary: Research Rendered Readable
Review: What a marvelous gift Bennet/Gottesfeld have to make difficult, serious and intimidating subjects enticing to teen readers.
With an empathetic understanding of contemporary adolescent culture they make the horror of the Holocaust come alive to a generation in danger of forgetting it. Their writing is magnetic, their characters believable and their story fast moving.
Their effort will inspire students to do more in depth Holocaust research. I could not give a more enthusiastic recommendation to my students to read this book.

Summary: A Compelling Story
Review: Anne Frank and Me is beautiful. It is captivating and riveting -- the blend between the 1940's in France and 2001 in the USA is brilliant. Everyone should read this book -- it opens a door to a sad part in history that all should know about. It is also a wonderful personal possession that one should keep close to the heart. Once you get started reading, you can't stop till the end; it is that powerful and forceful. Sprinkled with humor, dashed with history, and mixed with the themes of love and family, it is more than just a book. It is a work of art.

Summary: Anne Frank and Me
Review: Anne Frank and Me was one of the the best books that I have ever read. It was so realistic I could easily been right in the book. It was heartwarming, yet suspensful. Anne Frank and Me really had a way to touch your heart. It creates such a picture in your mind of what the struggle so many jewish children had to go through everyday during the war even though they had done nothing wrong. I reccomend this book to anyone who loves a good well written, heartfelt book. Anyone who is interested in historical fiction or has an interest in world war two, this book is the right one for you.

This book showed (not told) about the Holocaust and what it was like for a teen during that time. Be sure to read this book. I guarantee it will go on your list of favorite books!
